breakfast of champions


this morning's breakfast was a strawberry champagne bar from harrods (strawberry chocolate filled with a champagne flavored truffle center). and a cup of tea. how healthy of me huh? i didn't eat the whole thing, but it was tempting. ahh to be able to pop into harrods whenever you wanted, that would be the life.


as you can see, i took my mint stitch markers and made buttons out of them for my packages this year. makes for a simple adornment that the kitties aren't very interested in playing with. which is a good thing. i also made some tags that matched. as you know i like things to match :)


and my new knit hat from macys. a bit golferish but i LOVE it. i have a big thing for argyle. and this was one of those items that you see for around $20 and make that call that it is so worth buying rather than knitting.

totally random, but there you have it. i am off to do a bit of shopping with my mom. there just happens to be a yarn shop where we are headed. will my wallet remain in my purse? probably, i got the biggest visa bill yesterday :)

I love that hat-I wonder if it's something to do with the name-I love argyle.

Heya, Amy--

While you were eating your candy for breakfast, did you hear "Seattle's Chocolate Story" on NPR this morning? I immediately thought of you when I heard it. :o)

I'll be venturing up to our great capital city of London in the New Year, should I dare to offer to purchase and send a few things over to you?

may you all enjoy all the Christmas cheer that you can fit in during the holiday season!

That breakfast sounds way too good! If only that was a legitimately healthy meal :)
